Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

The Damned No values Pomona Fairplex CA 8th June 2024

 


I think that this is the first upload that I have done of the 'new' Damned line up i.e. with Rat back on the drum stool. Thanks to the original Dime uploader, Fried morals, for the upload. So, The Damned have spent some time in the US, playing both festivals and their own headline shows. There seem to be a rash of punk/new wave festivals happening these days in the US.... 'Punk Rock Bowling', 'Punk In The Park', 'Cruel World' and 'No Values'. This is a festival set but there will be full show sets posted in the coming days.

'Ladies & Gentlemen... how do?'

  1. They've been excellent on this tour. Saw their show in Toronto on May 27th. The band were tight and energetic, and were really enjoying themselves. Really glad I had the chance to see them finally, and they did not disappoint.

  2. I agree with Vic. I saw them the next night in Boston and they were great. Saw them close to 10x, but first with Rat. Can't wait to see them again!
